Software is becoming an increasingly important part of telecommunication networks and deployments as both wired and wireless carriers look to add functionality to operations while increasing simplicity and reducing costs. RCR Wireless News is keeping an eye on recent developments through its weekly “Software”...
If limited spectrum and cost-prohibitive expansion of infrastructure is inevitable, then operators need to find additional ways to enhance their existing networks and make the most out of the capacity that they have.
This collection of MPLS pdf papers cover a wide range of topics. From the basic functions and uses of MPLS to highly technical analysis of MPLS within the open Internet, these MPLS pdfs come from a variety of industry and academic sources.

The Best LTE Network Architecture Diagrams
Wireless operators are rapidly expanding their LTE networks to take advantage of additional efficiency, lower latency and the ability to handle ever-increasing data traffic. RCR Wireless presents a collection of LTE network architecture diagrams.
This diagram from standards body 3GPP shows...
More than 1 in 5 IT professionals expect to deploy software-defined networking this year, and about one-third are expecting deployments by 2015, according to the seventh annual State of the Network report from Network Instruments.
The report says that there is "a strategic shift in how...
Conformance testing is designed to determine if implementation meets the requirements of a standard or specification. There are many types of testing including testing for performance, robustness, behavior, functions and interoperability. Although conformance testing may include some of these kinds of tests, it has...
eNodeB (enhanced Node B) simulators are an important piece of test networks that are used for a variety of user equipment tests. eNodeB simulators run as only one part of a simulated networks, so that interactions among the Radio Access Network and Evolved Packet...
Three Examples of Mobile Application Testing Resumes
RCR Wireless has collected three mobile application testing resume samples to give different views on organization, prioritizing skills within the resume, and types of skills and descriptions which are useful in applying for mobile app testing jobs.
In general,...
Like many other countries in South Asia, Malaysia is on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) track and garnering speed every day! Let's take a closer look at just how near launching the country is with LTE Networks in Malaysia- 2013 Forecast & Trends. The...
Long Term Evolution is something we have all heard of, and hopefully understand. It is a complex technology with hefty goals, and when fully launched will make our wireless experience faster and more efficient. But there still may be questions you have or you...
Understanding Long Term Evolution (LTE) can sometimes be difficult as the technology is very complex.
LTE Architecture Overview
When it comes to the EPS game, the bearer is the quarterback. The white paper notes that EPS uses these bearers to route IP traffic from a gateway...
We've discussed Long Term Evolution (LTE) in depth in terms of technological architecture, use, features, speed, etc., but we need to remember its predecessor. New technologies, LTE included, would not be the speedy giant it is today without learning from those technologies who lived before...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a complex technology, and most of could use a hand understanding it. This can be helped with LTE Network Diagrams. But first, we need to establish a general definition of this new, vivacious network and its architecture. In order to...
LTE (long term evolution) is everywhere and its time you understood the LTE basics. If you’re not already using your smartphone on this new and improved network, chances are you will be doing so soon. But before you can appreciate LTE, you must fully...
Call flow describes the process by which a network routes a call to a mobile device. Even LTE devices still use 3G networks for most voice calls. 3G call flow is different in a GSM network than in a CDMA network. In the United...
With Long Term Evolution (LTE), the pros most definitely outweigh the cons. This new and improved network will provide faster speeds and handle the ever-increasing data demands. Note every user, however, is ready for LTE. Both 3G and 2G networks are still in wide...
We talk over and over again about the complex Long Term Evolution (LTE) and its many components. One of these components, known as the non-access stratum (NAS), is highest stratum of the control plane between user experience (UE) and Mobility Management Entity (MME) at the radio...
Today, LTE is on the tip of everyone’s tongues. It’s the up and coming, lighting fast data network we've been waiting for. When discussing LTE, however, there are many technical terms and many complexities. To help you better understand, an LTE architecture overview of...
If you are looking for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) power point (ppt) to answer your questions, look no further. Understanding how the LTE architecture works is no easy task.There are many variables and channels, and an LTE architecture ppt helps put it all together. In...
There is a defined call flow for Long Term Evolution (LTE) when it comes to the network architecture; however, there is also an LTE attach procedure within that call flow. This LTE attach procedure is an important part of the structure and deserve special...
Within the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network infrastructure are many LTE identifiers that help move things along. One of these identifiers is APN LTE. The help that APN brings is specifically important, as it is responsible for connectivity requests, which basically means it's the...
In life and especially in technology, everything evolves. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is not immune. In fact, for LTE, evolution is a good thing!
The main goal of LTE is to provide users with mobile data speed they want and need, in a way legacy...
When it comes to deploying 4G broadband wireless networks and deciding what to focus on, LTE quality of service reigns supreme. This new and improved network was designed to meet increased data demands. This means the LTE quality of service (QoS) must be top...
